Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: During the processes of ecological succession, both biomass productivity and biodiversity increase. This means that there are more organisms with greater species diversity at each stage of succession than in the previous stage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”-like a mature forest-is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.
